Directions

Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, I mix ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp softened butter, and 1 tsp cinnamon until smooth, creating a sweet spread for these cinnamon toast rolls.

Flatten and Fill Bread

I remove crusts from 8 bread slices and flatten each with a rolling pin. I spread a thin layer of cinnamon filling on each slice, leaving a small border, and roll tightly, sealing the seam for secure Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups.

Make the Batter

In a shallow bowl, I whisk 2 eggs, ¼ cup milk, and ½ tsp vanilla until smooth, preparing a rich batter for these sweet roll-up treats.

Fry the Roll-Ups

I heat 2 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. I dip each roll-up in the batter, coating evenly, and fry seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until golden, ensuring crispy Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups.

Coat and Serve

I mix 2 tbsp granulated sugar with ½ tsp cinnamon. I roll the warm roll-ups in the cinnamon-sugar mix for extra sweetness, then serve these sweet roll-up treats immediately.
